The AUDI S1 (2014-19) is a small, premium hot hatch: an exciting version of Audi’s A1, aimed at drivers who want city-car dimensions with a more spirited feel. It sits above ordinary small hatchbacks in performance and price, while remaining easier to park and live with than a larger sports car. mycarcheck.com records 5,000 checks covering 1,572 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used-car interest. Across those records, the average private-sale valuation is £15,000, average recorded mileage is 51,000 miles and annual mileage is 7,000. Cars have had just under three previous keepers on average. All-wheel drive gives the S1 impressive grip and a distinctive, confident feel, setting it apart from small hot-hatch rivals such as the MINI Cooper S and Ford Fiesta ST. It suits commuters, couples and keen drivers seeking year-round fun, but its rear seats and boot are less family-friendly. Check condition and service history carefully.
